Slim Down With This Seven-Day Weight Loss Program

If your well-thought-out fitness plans have taken a bit of a back seat recently, we’ve got just the remedy. This seven-day weight loss program is the perfect way to get back on track.

How It Works

This seven-day food plan is designed to shift fat by creating a calorie deficit of about 500 calories a day. The average woman needs 2,100 calories a day just to maintain her weight – this plan is around 1,600 calories, so you’re ‘saving’ 500 calories a day. That may not sound enough to get you looking fab in your swimsuit, but thanks to the low-GI carbs you’ll have plenty of energy to burn even more calories as you work out, while the diuretic foods will help to reduce bloat and water retention, pep up a sluggish digestive system, and flatten your tummy.

Add in some high-intensity cardio and toning workout and you’ll be in great shape in no time! For the interval training, use the percentages listed in the workouts for your level to guide your energy expenditure as you train. Think of 100% as your maximum effort, 75% as moderate, steady state and 65% as being active rest.

Dinner: Pork stir-fry made with 100g lean pork, and a handful each of sugar snap peas and baby sweetcorn. Toss through a simple sauce: mix together some soya sauce, ginger, garlic and chilli in equal quantities. Serve with 1 cup cooked wholemeal noodles
